Hey Pittster ... as I started the thread isn't it my job to say "thanks for all the input"? :lol:

So I did EC yesterday and today, running approx 30-31psi in the front and 28psi in the rear. Both felt fine except that the rear had a definite chamfer (it's a little bit old...) on the left which managed to give me my first rear-wheel slides ever :kuda: :kuda:

The wierd thing was that prior to my first session yesterday I thought I should ask the mechanics what pressures to run .... "34 front and rear - hot!" :roll:

Pirelli supercorsa DOT for around 32.5 f & 28 rr off the warmers, Superbike pro is similar construction and compound so i'd guess similar pressures also. If the rear gets above 29 it gets slippery, and if you go down too far they heat right up and get slippery too.
